The first Ni(0)/bis(oxazoline)-catalyzed asymmetric denitrogenative transannulation of 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones with bulky internal alkynes to form novel axially chiral isoquinolones in an atroposelective manner has been developed. This method provides direct asymmetric access to axially chiral isoquinolones with excellent functional-group tolerance in excellent yields and stereoselectivities from readily available starting materials under mild reaction conditions. These axially chiral isoquinolones exhibit high cytotoxicity against a number of human cancer cell lines. DFT calculations reveal the nature of the transition state in the key annulation step.

A chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed efficient, operationally simple, general method for straightforward syntheses of axially chiral arylpyrazole employing -alkyl of 3-aryl-5-aminopyrazoles reacting with azonaphthalenes was achieved. A wide variety of axially chiral heterobiaryl diamines in generally good yields with excellent enantioselectivities were obtained under mild conditions. In addition, a scaled-up experiment and postmodification of the chiral product further highlighted the synthetic utility.

[CuL(tmen)] is a sequence of four ternary mononuclear Schiff base copper(II) complexes that are derived from L-valine, suitable 5'-substituted-2'-hydroxyacetophenones (where the substituents are -Cl for L, -Me for L, -OMe for L, and -H for L), and tmen (where tmen-N,N,N',N' tetramethyl ethylenediamine). Without isolating the Schiff base ligand or producing any other intermediate products, all of the complexes were synthesised. These compounds were identified using elemental analysis, molar conductance, UV-Vis, FTIR, EPR, VSM-RT, and CD spectra.

The optical modulation of ferroelectric polarization constitutes a transformative, non-contact strategy for the precise manipulation of ferroelectric properties, heralding advancements in optically stimulated ferroelectric devices. Despite its potential, progress in this domain is constrained by material limitations and the intricate nature of the underlying mechanisms. Recent studies have achieved efficient regulation of ferroelectric polarization and thermal conductivity in chiral ferroelectric thin films through the application of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light (LCP and RCP).

Metolachlor is the most heavily used member of acetanilide herbicides, which are noted for forming highly soluble metabolites in root zone soils soon after field application. The two primary metabolites of metolachlor, metolachlor ethane sulfonic acid (MESA) and metolachlor oxanilic acid (MOXA), retain the same chiral chemistry as their source and are important tracers of nitrate loading from agricultural cropland. New analytical methods for separating the isomers of MESA and MOXA, enable studies assessing changes in the abundance of atropisomer pairs of the carbon chiral enantiomers in environmental samples.
